After hearing the Sect Master's words, Chen Ping was stunned.
Sect... Sect Master? !
"This can't be done!" Chen Ping said decisively.
Chen Ping was extremely nervous and directly refused their offer to make him a Sect Leader. Even being a disciple felt embarrassed and wanted to do chores.
He didn't accepted the offer because he's afraid he isn't even qualified to be a disciple, let alone Sect Leader.
"No, absolutely not! How could I be a Sect Leader?!" Chen Ping refused their offer.
This cause them to worry so much thinking that the position they offer isn't enough to him.
"If that's the case, I won't hold back anymore." Murong Yunhai immediately became cold, thinking that Chen Ping felt that this position was not enough.
"You don't need to..." Chen Ping was really worried that he'll be kicked out, then the task will be done for.
Seeing that Chen Ping was silent, Murong Yunhai knew what Chen Ping meant.
"Senior, I will make the decision on my father's behalf and let him retire from the position of the ancestor of the sect. From this moment on, you will be the only Sect Ancestor of the Leaning Mountain Sect." Murong Yunhai said impassively.
Hearing this, Chen Ping almost fell off his foothold. He looked at Murong Yunhai and sighed. And Chen Ping's sighing action was rather peculiar.
"Wow. Aren't you a filial son! Are all cultivators hard to communicate with?" Chen Ping is not surprised instead felt ashamed that he's a filial son and is hard to communicate.
Even though he can't cultivate, he have heard of sects before. The sects is divided to seven categories that is leveled to different level.
[Ancestor]
[Sect Leader]
[Sect Elder]
[Saint/Saintess Deacon]
[Inner Disciple]
[Outer Disciple]
[Errand Boy]
The weakest of the sects are the errand boys, followed by the outer sect disciples.
Then there are inner disciples, saint and saintess deacons, elders protecting the mountain and Sect Leader.
Finally, the Ancestor!
"I'm just a commoner." Chen Ping thinks that he probably not even qualified to be a disciple, let alone an ancestor.
"What should I do? I need to figure out to talk them out of this situation." Chen Ping is struggling thinking how to figure a way out of this mess.
And then a exclamation mark popped out on his head and realized something important.
Then Murong Yunhai was suddenly excited and said; "Then it's settled! From now on, you're our Sect Ancestor!"
"We've been talking and standing here for so long. Where are manners? Apologies for making you stand here for so long. Please take a seat in the hall." Murong Yunhai invite Chen Ping inside the hall.
"Huh? What's settled? I..." Chen Ping was confused and keep thinking on what is happening.
Murong Yunhai's daughter suddenly interfer his father that uncle Qingxian is in the hall. That his father and uncle Qingxian had such an attitude earlier.
Murong Xue was worried about his uncle Qingxian what if he suddenly says something disrespectful without knowing the situation.
"Ah, that's right! How could I forget that!"
"Keep him company. Let me go in there first." Murong Yunhai hurriedly slip away to inform Zhang Qingxian about the matter to not recklessly disrespect the Senior.
Then Chen Ping asked Murong Xue a question. "Does your father need to answer natural call?" Chen Ping feels awkward.
"Probably..." Murong Xue answered.
Inside the hall. Zhang Qingxian is still sitting on the chair while looking at the wooden ball which can't be opened.
Suddenly Murong Yunhai slams the door and nervously shouting at Zhang Qingxian. "Brother Qingxian!"
"Brother Yunhai, I see that you've already chased that liar away." Zhang Qingxian speaks ill about Chen Ping.
He warned him to not speak ill about Senior like that and said; "Xue was not joking. Senior's skill can't be measured. They're coming over here right now."
"You must not be disrespectful later! That person is now our Sect Ancestor be careful." Murong Yunhai was worried about him.
Even though Zhang Qingxian is a Sect Leader of the Fantasy Moon Sect he's also an elder of the Leaning Mountain Sect.
Zhang Qingxian was so confused, and thought that he was fooled too. "Senior? Ancestor? He fooled you too?"
"No need to say anymore!" Zhang Qingxian suddenly slip away angrily to go outside the door to see what this Senior his talking about has up in his sleeve.
Soon, Zhang Qingxian glanced at the person outside and realized that the body is covered with Heavenly Dao Essence walking towards him. He then suddenly knelt, and bowed down to seek forgiveness for his recklessness and not properly welcoming Senior
He didn't welcome Senior because he didn't know that Senior would be here. "Pardon my manners for not welcoming you properly!"
"Ha! That's it" Murong Yunhai smile at him kneeling in front of Senior nervously.
Zhang Qingxian think how lucky can Yunhai be to get involved with such a powerful figure. It was also the first time he had seen such a powerful person.
This made Chen Ping to keep thinking why do this cultivators like kneeling down. Is this some sort of etiquette among cultivator and asked; "Should I be kneeling too?"
Murong Xue became nervous as Senior was trying to kneel down.
Both of them stop Senior before from kneeling down and became extremely nervous.
A wooden ball fall out from Zhang Qingxian pocket and roll down beside Senior's shoes and then Senior picked it up.
Looking at the wooden ball, Chen Ping'an was surprised: "Oh? Where did you get this wooden ball?"
"Senior, this has been picked up by a disciple from the Fantasy Moon Sect." Zhang Qingxian said it's hollow and they don't know what it's made of yet. Yunhai and Qingxian haven't been able to open it. There might be something nice inside.
"What do you mean you don't know what it's made of? It's just regular wood, there's nothing good inside either. It's just something to eat." Chen Ping was very familiar with this thing.
Zhang Qingxian was shocked. Murong Yunhai and Zhang Qingxian stayed at the same time.
"Senior, you can see through it?! Can you see the inside through the surface?!" Murong Yunhai exclaimed.
Chen Ping said with a strange face; "I don't have that skills. I made this object."
While Chen Ping doing some task that day, he realizes that making a toy for a kid are considered a task by the system.So Chen Ping use some wood to make a toy lock.
Hearing this, Murong Yunhai and Zhang Qingxian were both speechless. Then the emotion of reverence completely occupied their cheeks. There are endless stars shining in their eyes.
With that said, Chen Ping started to operate. However, he found out that the mechanism seems to be broken. So he tried to find another way to open it.
"I found it!" Chen Ping had no choice but took out the kitchen knife he brought in his storage bag.
When Chen Ping pulled out the kitchen knife, the father and daughter felt a strong pressure that makes them see a truth illusion from the artifact that feels like their neck was cut in half. Making them tremble from the intense pressure.
"What happened just now?" Murong Xue asked trembling in fear.
"What power! Treasures of the common world are not even close to matching its destructive power. Even the rumored immortal weapons aren't at this kind of level."
"Could that kitchen knife be... a heavenly weapon that is beyond legend!" Murong Yunhai was stunned by the red miasma of the kitchen knife.
As Chen Ping was cutting the wooden ball a Clash of Dao Laws happened at the sight in front of the three of them.
The knife Chen Ping was holding just now had the same appearance as an ordinary kitchen knife, except for its shocking aura.
With the knife, the wooden ball was split open in the blink of an eye. In Chen Ping's own perspective it just a normal cut but to them it's a sight to behold.
"It's open... Why are you so far away from me?" Chen Ping looked at Murong Yunhai.
They're fine just ago but when he saw the expressions of the three of them. Chen Ping was stunned.
Murong Xue looked at the paper candy and became curious.
After knowing that this thing was made by Chen Ping'an, she tried to asked; "Senior, what is this treasure?"
Chen Ping took the paper candy that he opened, and handed it to Murong Xue.
"It's just some candy. It was meant to be a reward for the kids who manage to open it. You can have it."
Murong Xue's eyes lit up and she took it decisively. " Candy? But the spiritual energy fluctuating is so strong..." She became curious.
Then Murong Xue swallowed the whole one. After swallowing the candy, Murong Xue's eyes widened and spiritual energy are gathering through her Dantian.
This helped her cultivation leveled up all the way at high speed and jump to consecutive levels.
First Stage of the Core Formation Realm!
Second Stage of the Core Formation Realm!
Third Stage of the Core Formation Realm!
Fourth Stage of the Core Formation Realm!
.....
Tenth Stage of the Core Formation Realm!
Seeing this scene, Murong Yunhai and Zhang Qingxian were almost scared to stand unsteadily.
They're surprised by the sudden rised of Murong Xue's cultivation level. They opened their mouths, but they couldn't help but gesture with two words.
"I... I've leveled up! I jump through the First Stage of the Core Formation Realm to the Tenth." Murong Xue was feeling a lot of pleasure from leveling up.
After a while, Murong Xue opened her eyes. Endless gratitude and joy are difficult to express on her small face.
Not only did he save her life. He also helped her achieve a breakthrough with just Senior's advice. Now he's offering her another opportunity
"Senior, not only did you save my life. You even helped me achieve a breakthrough with your advice, and now you're even offering me another opportunity. I really don't know how to pay you back."
Murong Xue's was enlightened and stars shining in her eyes and is thankful for Senior's blessings.
Murong Xue asked Chen Ping with a sincere expressions, if she can repay Senior with her body.
"Can I repay you with my body?!"
